Omega triffid zombie

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2003)

An apocalyptic vision of human society destroyed by a pandemic virus. Man-made or natural we all fear the possibility of such a biological time bomb. In times of survival I'd hope people would put their discriminations aside and function cooperatively. However human nature dictates that egos will inevitably clash. The challenge of communal living or the acceptance of leadership is more frightening than the raging zombies in this movie. It seems that human beings are experts at unwittingly trapping themselves.
Maybe the story did steal from a million other films  which film doesn't? I don't care, even if 'Omega man' did get their first. This is better than the bitterly disappointing reign of fire'. The film wins out because it blends genres, has a good story and a great cast and director. Some of the imagery is spellbinding. I didn't get bored or tired with the action or inaction. It may have its faults but overall it's definitely worth a watch.
